2008-07-05Fix apply --recount handling of no-EOL lineLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+1
If a patch modifies the last line of a file that previously had no terminating '\n', it looks like -old text \ No newline at end of file +new text Hence, a '\' line does not signal the end of the hunk. This modifies 'git apply --recount' to take this into account.

2008-06-28Allow git-apply to recount the lines in a hunk (AKA recountdiff)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-7/+68
Sometimes, the easiest way to fix up a patch is to edit it directly, even adding or deleting lines.

2008-06-27git-apply: handle a patch that touches the same path more than once betterLibravatar Don Zickus1-10/+72
When working with a lot of people who backport patches all day long, every once in a while I get a patch that modifies the same file more than once inside the same patch. git-apply either fails if the second change relies on the first change or silently drops the first change if the second change is independent. The silent part is the scary scenario for us. Also this behaviour is different from the patch-utils. I have modified git-apply to create a table of the filenames of files it modifies such that if a later patch chunk modifies a file in the table it will buffer the previously changed file instead of reading the original file from disk. Logic has been put in to handle creations/deletions/renames/copies. All the relevant tests of git-apply succeed. A new test has been added to cover the cases I addressed. The fix is relatively straight-forward. Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-05-17builtin-apply: do not declare patch is creation when we do not know itLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-15/+0
When we see no context nor deleted line in the patch, we used to declare that the patch creates a new file. But some people create an empty file and then apply a patch to it. Similarly, a patch that delete everything is not a deletion patch either. This commit corrects these two issues. Together with the previous commit, it allows a diff between an empty file and a line-ful file to be treated as both creation patch and "add stuff to an existing empty file", depending on the context. A new test t4126 demonstrates the fix. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-05-17builtin-apply: accept patch to an empty fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-56/+77
A patch from a foreign SCM (or plain "diff" output) often have both preimage and postimage filename on ---/+++ lines even for a patch that creates a new file. However, when there is a filename for preimage, we used to insist the file to exist (either in the work tree and/or in the index). When we cannot be sure by parsing the patch that it is not a creation patch, we shouldn't complain when if there is no such a file. This commit fixes the logic. Refactor the code that validates the preimage file into a separate function while we are at it, as it is getting rather big. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-05-10Optimize symlink/directory detectionLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname saner and (much) more efficient. Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an 'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a normal path component. The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a real directory. This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index. [ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index revalidation. We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation, ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the directory cache). But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old 'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-04-06Fix "git apply" to correctly enforce "match at the beginning"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-13/+16
An earlier commit 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for --unidiff=0 patches, 2006-09-17) made match_beginning and match_end computed incorrectly. If a hunk inserts at the beginning, old position recorded at the hunk is line 0, and if a hunk changes at the beginning, it is line 1. The new test added to t4104 exposes that the old code did not insist on matching at the beginning for a patch to add a line to an empty file. An even older 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning., 2006-05-24) was equally wrong in that it tried to take hints from the number of leading context lines, to decide if the hunk must match at the beginning, but we can just look at the line number in the hunk to decide.

2008-02-06safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversionsLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-1/+1
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data. autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings such that we have only LF line endings in the repository. But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the conversion can corrupt data. If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right after committing you still have the original file in your work tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell git that this file is binary and git will handle the file appropriately. Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files converting CRLFs corrupts data. This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the following values: - false: disable safecrlf mechanism - warn: warn about irreversible conversions - true: refuse irreversible conversions The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism. The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are: - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the original file. - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree we do not not print annoying warnings. There are exceptions. Even though... - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the next checkout would, so the safety triggers; - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the safety does not trigger; - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To catch potential problems early, safety triggers. The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de>
2008-02-05core.whitespace: cr-at-eolLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+14
This new error mode allows a line to have a carriage return at the end of the line when checking and fixing trailing whitespace errors. Some people like to keep CRLF line ending recorded in the repository, and still want to take advantage of the automated trailing whitespace stripping.

2008-02-05git-apply --whitespace=fix: fix whitespace fuzz introduced by previous runLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+128
When you have more than one patch series, an earlier one of which tries to introduce whitespace breakages and a later one of which has such a new line in its context, "git-apply --whitespace=fix" will apply and fix the whitespace breakages in the earlier one, making the resulting file not to match the context of the later patch. A short demonstration is in the new test, t4125. For example, suppose the first patch is: diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt --- a/hello.txt +++ b/hello.txt @@ -20,3 +20,3 @@ Hello world.$ -How Are you$ -Today?$ +How are you $ +today? $ to fix broken case in the string, but it introduces unwanted trailing whitespaces to the result (pretend you are looking at "cat -e" output of the patch --- '$' signs are not in the patch but are shown to make the EOL stand out). And the second patch is to change the wording of the greeting further: diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt --- a/hello.txt +++ b/hello.txt @@ -18,5 +18,5 @@ Greetings $ -Hello world.$ +Hello, everybody. $ How are you $ -today? $ +these days? $ If you apply the first one with --whitespace=fix, you will get this as the result: Hello world.$ How are you$ today?$ and this does not match the preimage of the second patch, which demands extra whitespace after "How are you" and "today?". This series is about teaching "git apply --whitespace=fix" to cope with this situation better. If the patch does not apply, it rewrites the second patch like this and retries: diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt --- a/hello.txt +++ b/hello.txt @@ -18,5 +18,5 @@ Greetings$ -Hello world.$ +Hello, everybody.$ How are you$ -today?$ +these days?$ This is done by rewriting the preimage lines in the hunk (i.e. the lines that begin with ' ' or '-'), using the same whitespace fixing rules as it is using to apply the patches, so that it can notice what it did to the previous ones in the series. A careful reader may notice that the first patch in the example did not touch the "Greetings" line, so the trailing whitespace that is in the original preimage of the second patch is not from the series. Is rewriting this context line a problem? If you think about it, you will realize that the reason for the difference is because the submitter's tree was based on an earlier version of the file that had whitespaces wrong on that "Greetings" line, and the change that introduced the "Greetings" line was added independently of this two-patch series to our tree already with an earlier "git apply --whitespace=fix". So it may appear this logic is rewriting too much, it is not so. It is just rewriting what we would have rewritten in the past. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This changes the way git-apply internally works to be more line oriented. The logic to find where the patch applies with offset used to count line numbers by always counting LF from the beginning of the buffer, but it is simplified because we count the line length of the target file and the preimage snippet upfront now. The ultimate motivation is to allow applying patches whose preimage context has whitespace corruption that has already been corrected in the local copy.

2007-12-13Unify whitespace checkingLibravatar Wincent Colaiuta1-44/+10
This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was performed: - the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is extracted into a function in ws.c - the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed - the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things: checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display whitespace errors in blobs. At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

Also demote "strip" to a synonym status for "fix" as the value of --whitespace option given to git-apply. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-24builtin-apply: teach whitespace_rulesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-19/+49
We earlier introduced core.whitespace to allow users to tweak the definition of what the "whitespace errors" are, for the purpose of diff output highlighting. This teaches the same to git-apply, so that the command can both detect (when --whitespace=warn option is given) and fix (when --whitespace=fix option is given) as configured.
